Swedish electric carmaker Polestar has unveiled the latest version of its award-winning Polestar 4 coupé now available for order in Australia, available in rear- and dual-motor variants featuring a re-calibrated chassis and starting from $78,500.
Polestar unveiled last week the 2027 model year Polestar 4 coupé that includes a series of upgrades focused on refining the car’s driving experience while also reducing its carbon footprint.
Both the rear- and dual-motor variants feature a recalibrated chassis with high-capacity passive dampers, new spring and anti-roll bar settings, and polyurethane rebound stops that replace internal rebound coil springs.
Driving experience is further enhanced by improved steering precision which results in a more controlled ride in all driving conditions, thanks to improvements to both agility and comfort.
The Polestar 4 coupé remains the fastest SUV in the Polestar lineup, featuring a 0-100km/h sprint of 3.8 seconds for the all-wheel drive dual-motor variant.
On top of that, the Polestar 4 coupé also features the lowest carbon footprint of any Polestar vehicle, landing on Australian shores with a carbon footprint of 20.3 tonnes of CO2-equivalent (tCO₂e) for the dual motor variant and 19.4 tCO₂e for the rear motor model.
“The upgraded Polestar 4 coupé is better than ever, offering a more refined ride with enhanced driving pleasure, and stronger sustainability credentials,” said Michael Lohscheller, CEO of Polestar.
“Overall, the Polestar 4 coupé delivers an even more compelling package without compromise.”
The MY27 Polestar 4 coupé is now available in a revised trim level structure and naming convention – the Rear motor, Dual motor, and Dual motor with Performance pack.
Pricing for the Rear motor variant starts from $78,500 before on-road costs, while the Dual motor variant starts from $86,350 before on-roads.
Upgrades including a $1,200 comfort pack featuring heated steering wheel, power-operated steering column, and 12-way electrical seats with mechanical cushion extension. For a further $6,500, the Plus pack adds a Harman Kardon 1320W premium sound system, head-up display, and a number of other luxury upgrades.
The Performance pack adds a further $7,200 to the cost of the Dual motor variant with Plus pack, and adds 22-inch performance wheels, Polestar Engineered chassis tuning, Brembo brakes, and Swedish gold accents.
A Nappa upgrade featuring Bridge of Weir animal welfare-secured leather, ventilated front seats with massage, Harman Kardon headrest speakers in the front seats, rear comfort headrests, and brushed textile headlining is also available for either $5,700 for the Charcoal or $6,100 for the Zinc.
While it’s good news for Australians, Polestar will not be quite so content with the latest policy adjustments in the United States, after the US Department of Commerce declined Polestar an exemption under its Connected Vehicle Rule, which prohibits the sale of internet-connected vehicles and related hardware/software linked to China or Russia.
The US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued the ruling earlier this year after determining that the sale of such “connected vehicles”, or CV, pose national security risks, “as companies from these countries may be compelled to share data or allow remote access to connected vehicles in the United States.”
